Has anyone fitted these without problems? Or even with problems? I recently purchased a set (19 inch) brand new boxed & mint, albeit from a private seller.
I was somewhat miffed to find, despite being told otherwise, that the original bolts can’t be used and I had to buy a set of small head ones from Larini (£200) but was going to let this ride.
But I have since come across a bigger problem. The wheels themselves don’t fit the hubs. This is due to the 2 bolt heads that sit proud of the hubs on the mounting face (they hold the discs in I’m told by my indie). I’m not going to drill into the wheels!
The original wheels have deep recesses in the right place that accommodate these bolts. The FD ones have very shallow recesses that the bolt heads don’t fit inside, therefore wheels don’t fit the mounting face.
Larini, who sell these in the uk say they’re not aware of anyone having this problem, though of course not their problem as they didn’t sell me them.
The wheels seem totally legit and are in FD boxes. They are also wrong size to be Granturismo versions.
I know I can claim from the seller via PayPal if it comes to it.
I would however reach a solution and would like to get to bottom of the problem.
Are my hubs normal? Anyone fitted these? Anyone know about these wheels or the bolt heads in the hubs?
